Upon acquiring new worlds it gave way to a world outlook promoting the idea of cosmopolitanism "the concept that all people are citizens of the world not just Greek. Alexander never took his love of Greece too far, he believed in freedom of religion, appointed Persians as governors, legitimized marriages between soldiers and native women. "Instead of treating the Persians like slaves, as Aristotle recommended he treated then as subjects."" The issues that Alexander was sensitive to are issues discussed in the politics of today.

The notion of promoting a specific culture is a key characteristic of a leader, the spread of culture is related to the strength in patriostic views. When a culture is spread it only becomes healthier; the culture can be influenced. "He seeded the empire with cities "the most famous Egypt's Alexandria "where Greeks and non-Greeks could mingle He even adopted Persian dress and ceremonial."" With the spread of culture comes the spread of ideas in of issues, specifically politics. Spreading the concept of politics is a main issue especially in the government of America. Alexander was extremely influential to the ideas of modern leaders and politics; he brought the issue of allies in politics. When he captured Tyre he liberated the Egyptians from Persian rule so the Egyptians made him a pharaoh.

" Alexander replied with deep emotion, I consider you all my kinsmen!' and went on to pray that Greeks and Persians might reconcile their differences and that all peoples of the world might live in harmony."" Peace is what leaders strive for; it is their main function to bring order and peace to society. Education was extremely important to Alexander; he was taught as a young boy, by the great philosopher Aristotle, gained an appreciation for the Homeric epics and the stories of legendary heroes (quite possibly another inspiration for his conquest.
